Introduction to dynamical systems
Any system that varies as a function of time may be termed a dynamical system; the study of
dynamical systems has a long history, spanning many elds. The descripti

Variables and Arrays
Variables are named locations in memory where numbers,
strings and other elements of data may be stored while
the program is working.
Variable names are combinations of letters and digits, but
must start with a letter.

Data files using load/save
Probably the easiest way to import data into a Matlab
program is from a tab delimited file. Excel can export
tables in tab-delimited format. These can be then be read
into Matlab using the load function
Example: Use Ex
